Copying specific colums into another file [VBA - excel

Question

i have the following problem. I want to write a Macro, that copies three specific columns from a file "Rest.xlsx" into the original file "Schweben.xlsm". Both files are attached.
I already have the following code, which copies specific columns within the original file "Schweben.xlsm" from the table1 to a new created table2. Now i also want the macro to copy the columns K,H,D form Rest.xlsx to table2 within the "Schweben.xlsm" file into the new columns F,G,J (in that specific order). Since the files change daily, I want the macro to recognize the different lengths of the columns and always recognize all cells within the column, even if it is sometimes longer.
Sub CopyRowE()
Dim LastRowE As Long
Dim LastRowH As Long
Dim LastDataRow As Long
Dim CopyData As Long
With Tabelle1
LastRowE = .Range("E9999").End(xlUp).Row
LastRowH = .Range("H9999").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("E2:E" & LastRowE).Copy
.Range("CA1").PasteSpecial
.Range("H2:H" & LastRowH).Copy
.Range("CB1").PasteSpecial
LastDataRow = .Range("CB999999").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("CA1:CB" & LastDataRow).Copy
Sheets.Add
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").PasteSpecial
.Range("CA1:CB" & LastDataRow).ClearContents
Tabelle1.Select
.Range("A1").Select
End With
End Sub
Thanks in advance

Here is a simplified approach to copy columns of data from one sheet to another. I've matched what you asked for as best as I could understand your needs and commented the code well, so you can follow it. The important part here is the creation of a sub procedue that named "copy_column" that actually doest he copying when supplied with a source and destination cell.
Sub copyRowE()
Dim new_sheet As Worksheet
Dim source As Range
Dim dest As Range
Dim rest_sheet As Worksheet
'this code assumes that the Rest.xlsx workbook is open, if not, correct the
'following line and remove the comment character (')
'workbooks.open("c:\full\path\to\Rest.xlsx")
' copy E from tabelle1 to column A on new sheet
Set new_sheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add
'give new_sheet a name
'new_sheet.name = "Consolidated"
copy_column tabelle1.Range("E2"), new_sheet.Range("A1")
'copy H from tabelle1to column B on new sheet
copy_column tabelle1.Range("h2"), new_sheet.Range("B1")
'copy from the first sheet in rest.xlsx
Set rest_sheet = Workbooks("Rest.xlsx").Worksheets(1)
'OR copy from a particular sheet in Rest.xlsx
'Set rest_sheet = Workbooks("Rest.xlsx").Worksheets("Sheet1")
'copy column K from rest to column F on the new sheet
copy_column rest_sheet.Range("K2"), new_sheet.Range("F1")
'copy column H from rest to column G on the new sheet
copy_column rest_sheet.Range("H2"), new_sheet.Range("G1")
'copy column D from rest to column J on the new sheet
copy_column rest_sheet.Range("D2"), new_sheet.Range("J1")
End Sub
Sub copy_column(top_cell_in_source_column As Range, dest_cell As Range)
' copies data starting at top_cell_in_source_column and taking all data below it
' and pastes it beginning at dest_cell. The source and destination can be in
' different worksheets or even in different workbooks
Dim source_sheet As Worksheet
Dim source_col As Long
Set source_sheet = top_cell_in_source_column.Parent
source_col = top_cell_in_source_column.Column
Range(top_cell_in_source_column, source_sheet.Cells(source_sheet.Rows.Count, source_col).End(xlUp)).Copy dest_cell
End Sub
